Know Your State's Stream Access LawsMontana's stream access laws are continually being challenged. Most of these challenges are the result of people having no previous knowledge of the existing laws or knowledge that is incomplete or incorrect. The people of Montana like their stream access laws and would like to see them remain unchanged. If you're looking to buy a piece of Montana you should be fully aware of all the laws that may have an impact on your property and learn to live by those laws rather than strive to change them.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Chart

Jails and Prisons: prisoners are human tooThis is about all prisons, not just the ones mentioned here. Now some of these things have been resolved, but it still occurs in other places. This petition is being started for two reasons. My friend is a prisoner at Potosi Correctional Center in Potosi, MO. He and two other prisoners have been written up because the prison officials think that my friend strong armed them into sending money to me. (Which is not true, the other prisoners contact me from my flyers that are circulating in the jail). I do prisoner's services out of my home, prisoners higher me to do research for cases and look up things for them. Now just because I am on my friend's visiting list (which I didn't know I was because in 2006 I got Denied), they think that my friend was involved in a conspiracy to get money in his account . Which is far from the case. I have sent in evidence to the contrary in the form of letters from the ones that hired me. The Caseworker Mike Laden had found all three men not guilty, yet the Warden over turned this action and found them guilty. This is not fair. I know prisoners have done their crime, but at the same time they are human just like everyone else. I am trying to get these guys out of the solitary or seg. The other reason for this petition is the fact St. Louis City Jail, in St. Louis, MO, had an inmate who was called by medical for a medical reason and that inmate didn't respond, so who let's them lay in a cell for 2 1/2 hours without anyone checking on them? ST. LOUIS CITY POLICE....They may deserve to be in jail but they are still human.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tanya Hamlyn

20 mph speed limit for streets surrounding North Main Street SchoolI would like to propose a reduction of the speed limit on the streets surrounding North Main Street in the Village of Monroe. This is a residential area and should not be grim thoroughfare for fast-moving cars and large industrial vehicles. Last year on Halloween a child was hit by a car right near North Main Elementary school. Most of the residents of the area surrounding the school would like to live on a quiet safe street where children can play outside and walk to school safely. The area has significant pedestrian traffic and a large number of students who walk to school. For many of our neighbors walking is the primary mode of transportation. At 20 mph, drivers make eye contact with the people in the street they are passing through. At speeds over 30 mph, drivers disassociate from the area they are passing through – treating it principally as a traffic thoroughfare for getting quickly from A to B, rather than a neighborhood where children are playing. A reduction of the speed limit may result in a decrease of the inappropriate road use. We have large numbers of trucks using our street as a thoroughfare. I have counted up to 25 in an hour. This is hard on our roads and effects the tenor of the community. The North Main is a residential area not an industrial zone.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth Walsh

No More Cash Advance or Quick Cash Establishments in Antioch/Southeast Nashville CommunityWe want to improve our community and attract more upscale businesses and shoppers to our area. We want to once again put more positive focus on our Wonderful and Diverse community. The quick cash type businesses prey upon the less fortunate and makes it difficult to attract the more upscale business industry we crave for our area.239 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tanya Hans

Add More UTK Commuter ParkingWe commuter students pay hundreds of dollars for a parking permit just to drive to a campus with inadequate parking, causing many to be late to class and unnecessary stress. There are not enough parking spaces to serve the majority of the commuter students, even though UT's transportation department reels in millions of dollars a year from parking passes alone. This petition is to raise awareness to the chancellor and other UT administration about the dire need to create more parking for commuter students.844 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Chantel Harris

TERMINATE CONTRACT WITH CENTERPLATE DUE TO CEO ANIMAL ABUSEThis case of animal abuse was caught on camera. Actions like this call for consequences. UPDATE - http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11451785/des-hague-resigns-ceo-centerplate-video-dog-abuse-surfaces The POS resigned, in no doubt due to the responses such as this petition. But questions remain: Why wasn't he fired by Centerplate? Why did organizations that use Centerplate's services like the Tampa Bay Rays not show more outrage over this animal abuse? Why has this POS not been charged for this crime? Bottom line - this is not over. Please sign this petition & others like it to show that this can't & won't be swept under the rug!252 of 300 SignaturesCreated by DAN FAVERO

US Fish and Wildlife Service: Save Endangered Mexican WolvesAt last count, there were only 83 wild Mexican gray wolves, or lobos, in the U.S. and they need your help. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently proposed changes to the rule governing the reintroduction program for the critically endangered Mexican wolf. While provisions to increase the area where new wolves can be released and can roam are important, other proposed changes, such as allowing more killing of these endangered wolves and limiting protections, contradict what scientists say is necessary for the wolves’ recovery. Your signature and personal comments on this petition will be submitted as comments on the proposal and will help influence decision-makers to save these wonderful animals before it's too late.7,455 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Roxane George

Fix a Notice For ADA ViolationsMany businesses are subject of "shakedown" lawsuits by attorneys and plaintiffs who have no real interest in the ADA, but are focused on the easy targets of small, mom and pop businesses who are shaken down to pay or face the threats of litigation.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ali Nekumaneh

Apple to add Farsi/Persian to iphone KeyboardPlease help stop corporate discrimination against Farsi, Persian, and Iranian-Americans. There are close to 2 million Iranian-Americans in the United States with strong economic status ranging from major business owners, surgeons, dentists, professors, entertainers, and many serving in local governments. Their financial status enables them to support all Apple products. It is strange that the Apple keyboard amongst many languages offers Czech, Croatian, Estonian, Hawaiian, Latvian, Macedonian, Slovak, Tamil, and Tibetan, but intentionally refuses Farsi or Persian. This is either a political statement or an act of prejudice against over 100 million Farsi speaking people in the world and two million Persian-Americans. As Persian-Americans we would like to receive acknowledgment of our language, Farsi/Persian, and our heritage country, Iran, on the Apple keyboard list of languages and countries. We ask CEO Cook to help implement this request in appreciation for the support we have provided to Apple.255 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dr. K. Nourishad
